First ever photos of two Horned Puffins together at Smith Island

Today I took the first ever photos of two Horned Puffins together at Smith Island. It was amazing and so exciting to see them. I posted two pictures of horned puffins taken six days apart, a couple of weeks ago. I believed it was two different birds; others thought so, too, but many said they were the same bird.

There are some great shots of the two of them, but I also have some shots of one who would get nervous and fly away, but circle around and land by his or her mate again. I took some of the tufted puffins, too, but this trip, the horned puffin pair is the highlight for today.
